Lovers of Microsoft gaming device in Africa and Asia will have to wait longer to get a taste of what Xbox One brings to the industry. In a new disclaimer for the hotly anticipated Xbox One console, only a hand-full of countries can use the Xbox One game at Launch, considering the fact that games have to be activated over the internet at least once a day.


The disclaimer states: “Xbox One games are for activation and distribution only in specified geographic regions,”

Not even a single African or Asian country is represented on the list, which means that even if you could get your hands on one of the imported Xbox One at launch in Q3 of 2013, you wouldn't be able to taste the action. Thanks to Microsoft's new policies for next-gen gaming.

The list of countries that can immediately use Microsoft's Xbox One is given below.

Even if Xbox Live becomes available in Nigeria owners will not be able to enjoy the TV shows/services that owners in USA do.

No point buying the Xbone in Africa. PS4 it is

Microsoft is indirectly telling the whole world that they have given up entirely in gaming. Sony has literally destroyed Xbox and the brand.. PS4 @ $399 is a steal for any gamer irrespective of where brand loyalty lies.

X360 is not garbage! And if its true that used game discs wont work on xbox 1, then it's not for us naijans. Graphics on x360 is still great.

MS have removed the crappy DRM/no used games/region locking etc after public backlash... It still requires a one-time internet connection to setup after unboxing but nothing a basic proxy script/software won't get around. That's assuming they're sticking with the can only be activated in District 9, Precinct 13, Dark Sector etc
